Adding a new member of staff
Log into FPMS, click the grid icon on the left and choose 'Staff'.
Click Actions on the right hand side and choose '+ Create Staff'.
On this screen you will then see a page with both optional and mandatory boxes to fill in for the staff member. The boxes that will most often be used are highlighted in red.
The categories are as follows:
Image – You can add an image for the staff member that can be displayed in various formats on the staff page.
Images can be displayed on the staff list in the following ways:
First name – This will be the staff members first name
Last name – This will be the staff members last name
The first and last name will be displayed as:
Gender – There is a drop down menu to select a gender from. The options are Female, Male, Non-Binary and Other.
Gender is displayed as:
Level – This will restrict their account from accessing parts of FPMS. If you are wanting to display a staff member on the staff page and/or would like to give them basic access to FPMS then they will need to be set to Level 1. If you are looking to make them an admin and allow them editor access for FPMS and the website they will need to be Level 4.
Allow User to Login – If you are only displaying the staff member’s name on the staff page and the staff member will not be logging in you can untick this box.
Editor (Allow User to Edit Practice Website and Document Manager) – If a member of staff is set to level 4 but this is not ticked they will not be able to make edits. Level 4 grants them the ability to see the sections they would access but they cannot make edits without this being ticked. Only use this for staff members who will be logging in and editing the website or processing forms in document manager.
Password – You will need to set a password if you have the ‘Allow User to Login’ box ticked. The staff member can then reset this password once you have provided them with it.
Confirm Password – Confirm the password that you have set in the ‘Password’ box
Email – You will need to set an email address even if the staff member is not going to be logging in to FPMS or the website. You can either use their allocated email address or you can use the format name[NUMBER] @ [PRACTICE NAME] .co.uk e.g. name1@TestSurgery.co.uk. Each email address can only be used once.
Public Notes – These notes will be visible below the staff member’s name on the staff page. An example of this is in the Practice Management section you can add ‘Practice Manager’ and ‘Deputy Practice Manager’ below their pictures to differentiate between different roles. You can also add some information about the staff member.
The public notes will be displayed as:
Qualifications – These qualifications will appear visible below the staff member’s name but above the Public Notes section if any have been added. This box is useful to add any qualifications for the GP staff member’s you’d like to display.
The qualifications will be displayed as:
Categories – You will need to choose which category for staff to appear in on the Staff page. If you have not got the correct category this will be covered in the ‘Add, remove or edit category’ section.
Categories will be displayed as a section header as follows:
Once you are happy with the staff profile you will then need to click 'Save' in the top right.
